Windows + CTRL + Q is the best shortcut you didn't know that opens a hidden program
There is a keyboard shortcut in Windows that allows you to get help from other people when you are having a problem with your computer. Often times, when something happens on the computer that we don’t understand, we look for someone we know who may have computer knowledge so that we can easily solve the problem without going to a technician.
There is no need for this person to come to your home. In Windows operating system we can find a tool called Quick Assist which allows anyone to access your computer remotely to control it or enter someone else's computer and solve the problem you are facing or facing.
To access this tool, simply press the keyboard shortcut Windows+Control+Q and the Quick Help window will open, as spotted in a Reddit thread. If it doesn't open, it's important to check if you downloaded it from the Microsoft Store .
Using this tool is really simple, because simply, depending on the role you play, you will be able to click on "Help someone" to connect to another computer. In this case, a code will be generated that the other person will have to open the same window on their computer via the shortcut Windows + Control + Q and enter the code in the same window at the top where it says "Get help".
From here, you will be able to see the other computer's screen live while you guide the other person on what to do. But if they grant you the necessary permissions, you will be able to use the keyboard and mouse to control the computer. Although it makes sense not to be able to open programs with administrator permissions as a security measure. It is a tool that does the same job as the popular TeamViewer .
This tool can be very dangerous. As Microsoft explains on its support page , it is important to avoid giving access to your computer to people you don’t know. At the end of the day, we will have access to personal files if we give them permission. In this way, use should be limited to exceptional situations and always with trusted people such as friends or family. And always check everything they do with the computer.
